 Global Infrastructure Partners, a private equity fund dedicated to investing in global infrastructure assets, has opened an office in Hong Kong. The new office will serve as a base for the firm's investment activities across Asia.
GIP has appointed Mike Nikkel to spearhead the firm's efforts across Asia. He has joined the firm as a partner.
Nikkel most recently led the development and operation activities of OneEnergy, a joint venture of CLP Holdings and Mitsubishi Corporation, a regional independent power company doing business in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
'GIP is committed to sourcing, executing and adding value to compelling infrastructure investment opportunities in Asia in close partnership with leading Asian investors and relevant government agencies,' said Adebayo Ogunlesi, chairman and managing partner of GIP. 'We are extremely pleased to have an executive of Mike Nikkel's caliber and experience spearheading our efforts in this dynamic and rapidly evolving region. Mike comes to GIP with an exceptionally strong track record in acquisition, finance, development and asset management activities related to infrastructure investment assets and companies across Asia.'
GIP invests in infrastructure assets in both OECD and select emerging market countries. The firm targets investments in the energy, transport and water sectors - including power generation and transmission, gas storage and pipelines, water assets, airports, air traffic control, ports and railroads. Its offices are in New York, London and Hong Kong.
